Explanatory notes

This competency refers to the ability to select the right file format for specific needs and tasks.

Rationale

Choosing the right file format is crucial because different formats have different properties and uses.

Example

When saving an image for printing, the TIFF format may be the best choice due to its lossless quality. For images on the web, however, the JPEG format with high compression and good quality is more suitable.
